When I’m Delinquent.


Verse:
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy, I came that they may have life and have it abundantly (John 10:10, ESV). 

Personal Thought:
Wow, it’s been 2 years since I’ve blogged anything.  As the New Year approaches it's time again to consider what new resolutions I will be setting for this year.  Starting up my blog again was one of them.  Along with many others that I repeat year after year, diet, exercise, better time management, and of course a yearly Bible reading plan.  So often our resolutions stem from areas of our life that we want to change.  Out with the old habits and creating new ones that will be more profitable, healthier, or better disciplined.  The desire to live life more abundantly or as the CJB version says, life in its fullest measure.  Isn’t that we all desire?  Life in the fullest measure!  And it is the very reason why Jesus came to give life and have it abundantly.   

Prayer:
Dear Lord, Heavenly Father, we thank you for the life you have given us.  Thank you for eternal life in Jesus our Lord and Savior.  And as if that wasn’t enough, You came so we could have life in the fullest measure!  I pray Lord as this New Year approaches we would seek more of You, I pray we would seek the abundant life You came to give.  Would you lead us to live in the full potential you came to give us.  In Jesus Name, Amen.
